February 2014 2 The Situation in Afghanistan: The Use of Drone Strikes in Pakistan 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. Between 2004 and 2013, drone strikes in Pakistan killed an estimated 2,537 - 3,646 people and injured 1,128 - 1,557 civilians. Many of those killed were children. 2. These drone strikes were, and are, being carried out by the United States with the assistance of their allies including the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia, and other NATO partners. They are part of a covert war which lacks both transparency in its targeting process and accountability for the deaths it causes. 3. The pattern of drone strikes which has occurred in Pakistan raises very serious issues of potential liability under international criminal law, in particular as regards the killing of civilians and those not directly participating in hostilities.1 4. Issues under international law in respect of drone strikes are not limited to international criminal law and, as such, the submissions in this communication are without prejudice to the question of whether drone strikes give rise to other violations of International Law. The Complainants note that International Human Rights Law continues to apply, alongside the rules of International Humanitarian Law and this has now been affirmed on numerous occasions by international courts and tribunals (See e.g. Case Concerning Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo (D.R.C. v. Uganda, ICJ Rep. (2005), 168; Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, ICJ Rep. (2004), 136). 5. There is a significant body of evidence from official sources, non-governmental organisations and investigative journalists, providing a reasonable case for the Prosecutor to investigate whether the United States and/or any of its allies are guilty of crimes within the Court’s jurisdiction. 6. The drone attacks, which have disproportionately affected civilians, therefore, constitute offences under the following provisions of the law of armed conflict: a. Article 8 (2) (a) (i): Wilful killing b. Article 8 (2) (a) (iii): Wilfully causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or health; c. Article 8 (2) (b) (i) (General): Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities; 1 As regards the applicability of international humanitarian law to the subject-matter of the present complaint, the United States has repeatedly asserted that it is involved in an armed conflict. While there is debate as to whether such an armed conflict does exist and, if so, its scope, for the purposes of this submission, the Complainants rely on the position adopted by the US authorities. Reprieve. February 2014 3 The Situation in Afghanistan: The Use of Drone Strikes in Pakistan d. Article 8 (2) (b) (i) (Attacks on Rescuers): Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities; e. Article 8 (2) (b) (iv): Intentionally launching an attack in the knowledge that such attack will cause incidental loss of life or injury to civilians or damage to civilian objects or widespread, long-term and severe damage to the natural environment which would be clearly excessive in relation to the concrete and direct overall military advantage anticipated; f. Article 8 (2) (b) (v): Attacking or bombarding, by whatever means, towns, villages, dwellings or buildings which are undefended and which are not military objectives; and/or g. Article 8 (2) (b) (ix): Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not military objectives. 7. Alternatively, they constitute offences under the following provisions the law of non- international armed conflict: a. Article 8 (2) (e) (i): Intentionally directing attacks against the civilian population as such or against individual civilians not taking direct part in hostilities; and/ or b. Article 8 (2) (e) (iv): Intentionally directing attacks against buildings dedicated to religion, education, art, science or charitable purposes, historic monuments, hospitals and places where the sick and wounded are collected, provided they are not military objectives. 8. The Rome Statute obliges the Prosecutor to investigate and, if appropriate, to prosecute claims arising from the drone attacks. Although Pakistan is not a State Party to the Rome Statute, the drone attacks are launched from Afghanistan, which is a State Party, and there are reasonable grounds to believe that nationals of States Parties have participated in the drone strikes. 9. Additionally, the conduct concerned is of sufficient gravity to warrant the attention of the Court. The number of civilian casualties, both as an absolute number and relative to the number of alleged militants killed in the attacks, provides prima facie evidence that grave offences within the jurisdiction of the Court have been committed.

This study focused on five major ethnic groups (Gujars, Jadoons, Syeds, Tanolis, and Yousafzais) of Buner and Swabi Districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, Pakistan, through investigations of variations in morphological traits of the permanent tooth crown, and by molecular anthropology based on mitochondrial and Y-chromosome DNA analyses. The frequencies of seven dental traits, of the Arizona State University Dental Anthropology System (ASUDAS) were scored as 17 tooth- trait combinations for each sample, encompassing a total sample size of 688 individuals. These data were compared to data collected in an identical fashion among samples of prehistoric inhabitants of the Indus Valley, southern Central Asia, and west-central peninsular India, as well as to samples of living members of ethnic groups from Abbottabad, Chitral, Haripur, and Mansehra Districts, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and to samples of living members of ethnic groups residing in Gilgit-Baltistan. Similarities in dental trait frequencies were assessed with C.A.B.

  • Principles of Modern American Counterinsurgency: Evolution And
    Terrain, Tribes, and Terrorists: Pakistan, 2006-20081 By David J. Kilcullen, Partner, The Crumpton Group LLC Brookings Counterinsurgency and Pakistan Paper Series. No. 3. “The two main factors for you will be the terrain and the tribes. You have to know their game and learn to play it, which means you first have to understand their environment,” Professor Akbar Ahmed told me in May 2006. In the field, with military and civilian teams and local people in locations across Afghanistan and Pakistan at various times through the next three years, the wisdom of Professor Ahmed’s insight came home to me again and again. The fact is that the terrain and the tribes drive ninety percent of what happens on the Frontier, while the third factor, which accounts for the other ten percent, is the presence of transnational terrorists and our reaction to them. But things seem very different in Washington or London from how they seem in Peshawar, let alone in Bajaur, Khyber or Waziristan—in that great tangle of dust-colored ridges known as the Safed Koh, or “white mountains”. This is a southern limb of the Hindu Kush, the vast range that separates Afghanistan (which lies on the immense Iranian Plateau that stretches all the way to the Arabian Gulf) from the valley of the Indus, the northern geographical limit of the Indian subcontinent. The young Winston Churchill, campaigning here in 1897, wrote that “all along the Afghan border every man’s house is his castle. The villages are the fortifications, the fortifications are the villages. Every house is loopholed, and whether it has a tower or not depends only on its owner’s wealth.”2 “All the world was going ghaza” Churchill was describing the operations of the Malakand Field Force around the village of Damadola, in Bajaur Agency, during the Great Frontier War of 1897— a tribal uprising inspired and exploited by religious leaders who co-opted local tribes’ opposition to the encroachment of government authority (an alien and infidel presence) into their region.

  • Contribution of the Wild Food Plants in the Food System of Tribal Belt of Pakistan; the Pak - Afghan Border Region Abdullah and Shujaul Mulk Khan*
    Preprints (www.preprints.org) | NOT PEER-REVIEWED | Posted: 19 September 2020 doi:10.20944/preprints202009.0454.v1 Article Contribution of the Wild Food Plants in the Food System of Tribal Belt of Pakistan; The Pak - Afghan Border Region Abdullah and Shujaul Mulk Khan* Department of Plant Sciences, Quaid-i-Azam University Islamabad * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The tribal belt of Pakistan-the Pak-Afghan border region is famous for its unique culture, ethnography and wild food plants and traditional knowledge. People of these regions gather wild plants for number of purposes including plants or plant parts for direct use, use it in the traditional cuisines and selling in local markets. However, there is huge lack of documentation of food system particularly the Wild Food Plants (WFPs). In current study we have focused on the uses and contributions of the WFPs in the tribal traditional food system. The ethnobotanical data were gathered through questionnaire surveys with Eighty-four informants 69 men and 15 women belonging to 21 different villages. We documented Sixty-three WFP species belonging to 34 botanical families, of which 27 were used as vegetables, 24 as fruits, 6 in different kinds of chutneys (starters) formation and six as fresh food species. Fruits were the mostly used part (40%) followed by leaves (24%), aerial parts (24%), seeds (7%), stem (3%), legume (2%) and young inflorescence (1%). Use of Carthamus oxycanthus & Pinus roxburghii seeds and Marsillea quadrifolia leaves were the novel reports for the gastronomy of Pakistan. The results elucidate that WFPs have a significant contribution in the Tribal Food Systems.
